Data Dashboards
How does the Massachusetts system of public higher education compare against other state systems in the U.S.? This section
presents the data used to track progress in the key outcome areas of
the Vision Project. In line with the goal of national leadership,
Massachusetts’ standing is compared to leading states and the national average where available. The data is presented in a series of dashboards; trend data is incorporated where available to show whether
Massachusetts is improving in performance, remaining flat, or
worsening in performance on key metrics.
Bar Graphs. Where available, national comparisons are displayed along with Massachusetts’ performance in the central bar graphs.
MA Trend Data. Where available, analysis of trend data on Massachusetts’ performance, comparing three-year rolling averages, is displayed to the right of the bar graphs.
